My favorite was the post-game interview with Tina Cervosio in which he said "My teammates were pissed I didn't take the layup and win the game."http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50c0adbeecad047d4f00000bCraig BreslowThu, 06 Dec 2012 09:37:50 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50c0adbeecad047d4f00000b
#1) He wasn't even wide open.
#2) If he takes the jump shot, then the other team has a chance to tie the game
#3) Do you know anything about sports? Some of these articles are ridiculoushttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/50c0a8c1ecad049348000004common senseThu, 06 Dec 2012 09:16:33 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50c0a8c1ecad049348000004
With the game tied, the best possible thing you could do is take the LAST POSSIBLE SHOT. If JR would have taken the jump shot then the other team might have had some time to drain a jumper themselves. What if JR missed? what if he made a 2 and the other team made a 3? Rather take it to OT
